The Genmitsu 3018-PRO is a desktop CNC router aimed at beginners who want to learn carving and engraving on wood, plastic and soft metals. It ships with pre-positioned parts that simplify assembly, a 20,000 rpm spindle, an offline controller for running jobs without a computer, and CARVECO Maker design software. Its small work area and light frame suit small signs, curved lettering and model parts rather than large or hard-material work. Compared with bigger hobby routers it is easier to set up and cheaper to enter, but less rigid and slower on deep cuts.
